Monthly review: March 2012
| monthlyBy golly, I’ve been remiss with monthly reviews. None since November – can that be right? Back to writing these!
March was my first full month as a business owner. Consulting is solid and good. I’ve also started doing illustration.
I like this. There are tons of things to learn, and it’s good.
I’m already most of the ways through April. I plan to bike to work all throughout the month, if I can help it. So far, so good! I want to spend April experimenting with more ideas. I like drawing, and I’m getting the hang of the tools I’ve added to my kit.
